One concern I have is that it took Gase a little time to get in a groove with Tannehill and the playcalling early on could have been better. Can't afford to not hit the ground running at this point though.
I think that Moore is more of a wildcard as he can bomb it down the field at anytime where Tanny is a little more reserved. This could be good or bad but if anything adds a level of unpredictability. I just hope he's not a turnover machine but I do like to see a few deep balls a game.My point is simply , we know what we will or won't get from Matt Moore. We know his strengths and limitations - opponents do as well despite him not having played in a meaningful game for a while.
On Dion Jordan , his status is still up in the air with the team. We should know his future by days end

Agreed don't get me wrong I don't want them throwing 40 times a game either but if they stack the box Moore is more than capable of tossing it up there. He's actually good at it so teams may have to back off more than at first thought. Snowing today I hope Ajayi is good at it should be as he played college in the north.I am all for a QB that can and will throw it deep -- but we all know there is risk involved in trying to be a tough guy and going for it all at once.
Obviously , as a backup the sample size isn't that high even for a 5+ year veteran but look at MM's TD/INT ratio, its not particularly impressive -- which means, while he may go for some deep ones and get some TDs -- he also has a high rate of INTs... that just can't happen for us at this stage of the season.
I know I am in the minority in this, and I am more than glad to be -- but, I rather the Fins turn to a more conservative approach with MM at QB the rest of the way.
More importantly, with the revolving door that is our OL unit -- that " unpredictability" you speak off becomes a bit of a non-factor.
Id love to think that going to our backup gives us even the least bit of advantages, but I think it will even things out more so than anything with our opponents.
The first offensive drive will be very telling as far as what the approach is/will be and what Matt Moore truly has to offer once the game gets going.
Weather might be a factor tomorrow night -- wind/rain/snow in the forecast
I can see them stacking the box as their run D hasn't been that good lately. It will be up to more to audible in those situations and make the play. Stills may end up being more important he needs to catch those long ball opportunities when there. Hopefully Parker is feeling better now too....Running the ball more is a good option. It creates play action passing opportunities in addition to picking up yards on the ground. Moore will have to make a few throws though or they will just stack the box to limit the Fins' running game. I think Landry could play a big role as well as RB's and TE's catching short passes. Parker could make some plays down the field when the Fins get those opportunities.
